Ben Green

Producer, Songwriter and Engineer

Ben Green is a producer, engineer, mixer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist born and raised in Washington, D.C. He lives in Arlington with his wife, cat; and an unfortunately large collection of old cars, single malt scotch, and grey shirts. He is the owner of Ivakota Studios in Capitol Hill, and a producer and engineer at Blue Room Productions in Herndon VA, which he helped to design and construct. He is also an avid educator, and teaches courses in-studio on engineering, production, and recording philosophy.

In his early years, Ben toured the United States as a founding member of Fairweather—who established themselves as landmarks in the early 2000s punk revival. As such, Ben brings the unique experience of having performed nearly one thousand concerts—alongside over a decade of in-studio and location-based engineering to the Blue Room Studio team.

Ben also started the Book Club project with his wife Marissa Long—a literary-based musical and visual prompt for musicians and visual artists—with events occuringyear-round, and generously contributes to local DC charities.
